Esther was silent in her husband's hospital room. Damar has not been known until now. Actually he felt hungry, and was about to open the package that Aldo had given earlier. But recalling where he had almost met Adrian, made him undo the intention. It seemed, the hunger he felt had evaporated just like that. Change the overwhelming anxiety.
Frankly, Esther was not ready to meet the man. And maybe it will never be ready. Their debt is so much. And right now, his condition is very sad. What if the man found out about her whereabouts and immediately took the police to arrest her?
Esther's hand stretched out, clasping her husband's fingers tightly. He tried to find the strength of the man who had been with him for decades. It was very interesting to tell Damar about his meeting with Adrian. But Damar is sick, if he knows it, surely this problem will affect his health.
Chequek!
Aldo came after permission to leave for a while to see the administration. When entering, what he looked at the first time was a package on the nightstand, which seemed completely untouched. Just open the plastic outside.
"Mom, haven't eaten yet? Later the hunt is not good," said Aldo who walked over to the middle-aged woman who looked dreamy.
"Yes, son."
Aldo picked up a box of rice and opened it. Then give it to Esther. Inevitably, Esther accepted it, then spooned a mouthful of the rice into her mouth.
"Mom don't worry. We guarantee the entire cost of the father's treatment to recover as before," said Aldo. The young man held onto Esther's shoulder to strengthen her.
"Thank you, son. You're very nice people."
"It's just that she's a very nice person. Brother Alfa has made you wretched, but you are not demanding one bit. We're the lucky ones, ma'am."
Esther commented on her pure smile hanging. In his heart there was a worry that did not want to disappear, even though he tried to change the topic of conversation to another thing.
"Son, did you see that you were talking to someone?"
"Who's mom? Doctor just now?"
"No. The man who approached you."
"Oh, when you go to the toilet?" Esther nodded. "He's a friend of Junior High Alfa. Long time no see, since parting with his first wife who happened to be still our distant brother" explained Aldo.
"His family's been treated here?" Esther asked. He tried as much as he could to be ordinary despite being very curious about Adrian. The mouthful into his mouth was still ongoing even though the excitement made his stomach feel full.
"Wife, Mom. Reportedly she's a great woman. He can also change Kak Adrian into a person who is more friendly to others. I became curious" Aldo replied enthusiastically.
"He's remarried, son?" Aldo nodded.
"So, it's the story of the second wife, Mom. But not a socialite woman like his first wife. What is now is this woman is innocent and not from among the people. There was even news that they were married. The news went viral at the time, until there was evidence of it as well. But looking at the way they look at each other, I know their marriage doesn't pretend to be in love." Aldo told me what they saw.
"Eleventh Lord Adrian took a commoner's wife?" Esther's eyebrows swooped in. He had met Adrian once despite not knowing him or greeting each other. It was impossible for the man to like a woman from the ordinary, because Adrian was a classy young executive. He must also be thinking about his business career in finding a life partner.
"Mother knows Adrian?"
"God ... No Son. I've seen him on TV if he's a great young executive" Esther said. It's impossible to tell about his feud with the tycoon's man isn't it?
"Yes that's right. Adrian is great. If it's not wrong his wife is his former assistant in the office. I met once when they attended the wedding of our business partner. What I see, Kak Adrian's wife is a simple figure, very far from the makeup of menor and glamour. But that is classy. Not so tall but beautiful and friendly. And throughout the show, Brother Adrian seems very possessive, if not wrongly named Ara."
Suddenly Aldo took a bottle of mineral water from the top of the nightstand and gave it to Esther. "Slowly, ma'am, let's drink first."
Esther nodded. His chest felt tight from choking. He was shocked to hear Aldo mention Ara's name. "Who was his name, son?" esther asked to confirm what her ears were hearing.
"Ara, Mom."
"Ohuk!" Esther took the water back, and immediately sipped it.
"Be careful, Mom. Don't drink that much first." Aldo rubbed Esther's back to make the middle-aged woman a little comfortable.
Esther was only obedient when Aldo's hand also painstakingly nape his neck. He was tired today. Not only his body but his heart.
Wake up from dawn, prepare to go to the market. But even got a disaster and must be here until now. So, he hasn't had a break at all today. Plus his worries about being reunited with Adrian add weight to his mind.
And now even think about Aldo's words about the name and characteristics of Adrian's wife who is either coincidental or what is similar to his adopted son. Even the name is the same. What percentage of a resemblance in this world is just a coincidence.
"Did you keep the picture, son?"
"No, Ma. Indeed for what? Mum knew him?" ask Aldo wonder.
"Ah no. I just want to see a great woman who can conquer Mr. Adrian." Fortunately, his brain quickly thought of the reason for his request. If not, Aldo would have been suspicious.
"Mom is better?"
"Yes, Son. Thank you very much. Your massage reminds me of a mother's lost son." Esther pulled Aldo's hand and took the young man to a seat. Esther finished the rest of the meal.

"Where's Tony? Did something happen to Tony? He's fine, right?" Laura was asked active questions by her ex-lover.
The woman who now looked sexy was confused to answer. Though he had mentioned the name Tony only to attract the attention of Adrian aka a chat opening trap. But now he's stuck with all the questions about the man's curiosity.
"If you can't answer, you better go home now! I don't want to waste my time!" adrian ketus. The man immediately got up, and was about to leave Laura just like that.
"Shortly Add!" Laura blocks Adrian's steps. "Listen to me first "
"Otherwise? I gave you a chance and you didn't use it well."
"I know Add. I was confused to say it. The timing wasn't right. I want us to talk in the office."
"This is the same. I've never played cat-and-cat with my wife. So just say it. Lau, Ikim,"
"At the office, I'll be back there tomorrow. I can't tell you now" said Laura, her hand picking up the bag and saying goodbye.
"I'm leaving" said Laura who wasn't even happy with Ara who had seen her from the beginning.
